And until a few days ago I was planning on treating myself to a Toshiba 65" RPTV for Christmas (well, maybe a little sooner). Suddenly all I hear is HTPC and DLP. Other than what I have read here in the last few days, I have no knowledge of how all this works, so set me straight.
In addition to any existing satellite receivers and other home theater equipment including dvd players, all I need to do to get the big picture is buy a NEC 150 or something comparable, a screen, a PC - PIII, >500mhz, >128kb with a couple of extra cards and a dvd drive and some additional cables. Is this basically correct?
If so, I would appreciate any input concerning any of the fine points to be considered and any recommendations.
What is the concensus on other manufacturers offering comparable units to the 150 and what are the chances of seeing MSRP of $1,999?
